A faded Sauterne Gold paint job cleverly conceals all manner of vegetable matter including lichen, moss, and the discarded lettuce from a BLT, all of which might be found on this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA. On the strength of its originality and desirable 390 cid (6.5L) V8, the snowbound classic in Fremont, Nebraska has attracted over a dozen bids to a value beyond $13,000. Check out the auction here on eBay for more pictures and details.
The handsome Sportsroof (fastback) lends a muscular aura to the ’67 and ’68 Mustang, adding significant value above a coupe in similar condition. Whether you’re looking to jam fat slicks under there and scream down the quarter-mile, or spend the day carving up your favorite road course, the fastback Mustang looks the part.
While many enthusiasts recognize the phrase “GTA” from the larger Fairlane, Ford applied it to their Automatic transmission-equipped Mustang GT package in 1967 only. Simply put, “GT” + Automatic = GTA. The GTA moniker could grace any V8 Mustang, but this one came with the largest available powerplant, the “Thunderbird Special” 390. My Dad’s ’66 T-bird, with a mostly stock 390, looked uglier than this Mustang, yet gleefully converted snow tires into smoke. Like this car, Dad’s ’66 featured Flintstone floorboards.
Aside from a $3 fog of gray primer, this Mustang seems to have dodged TLC for some time. While 320 HP (gross) might be about 250 in today’s (net) numbers, the big 390 makes prodigious torque, and will move the lightweight pony car with authority. Sure, a host of 21st-century V6 cars make more peak horsepower but drive one and you only feel it during the last second before an upshift. With the factory 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, this Mustang will climb most hills with no need to downshift. Unless you like to “drive it like you stole it,” torque is your friend. Considering it needs everything, how much higher will the bidding rise on this once-gorgeous 390 Mustang?
Its gonna bring big big dollars 💵..
The seller needs to-list the block numbers and intake etc as assuming well you know…
“ It appears to have the original drive train in it although just assume you will need to rebuild everything. The Data Plate shows the vin 7F02S15685 which decodes as (7) 1967 (F) Dearborn Plant “
Good luck and cash in some T bills and bearer bonds if you got them 😜😂😁
Darn them Mecum and Barret along with Bullit Sales driving these sales though the roof 👀🥺
My convertible used to be this color but sine it was NOM motor the green turned to deep blue 👍
Put some “Bullitt” wheels on it and it may bring 3 million dollars.
This one will need some major work! Why doesn’t the seller get a MARTI report to confirm that this S code is indeed a GTA. It’s missing the disc brakes up front or at least the brake pad is for drum brakes so I would say this is not a GTA. It’s just a plain ole S code Mustang.
By the time you restore this on, you will be underwater.
I’ll pass.
He’s over 13 g with seven days to go. Why would he?
GT + Automatic does not make this car a GTA. GTA’s were a special option order. This car doesn’t have the holes for the badging, nor the GT extras, that I can see. Nice try though.
the one shot of the underside where the gas tank sits shows crusty . Lots of rust for a Nebraska car, but a rustang is a rustang. Looker over good. Even Steve McQueen would pass up this roach.

There is no wiring harness under the hood that I can see the heater hoses are missing along with the solenoid, the radiator and many other parts under the hood!! Oh and the floors are missing too!! I’m glad it’s not my money being spent on this car!!!

Pass….dude thinks he has a 3 million dollar Mustang. Okay, maybe not 3 million. :P I still pass..
1967 Mustang Fastback with standard interior, standard exterior, standard seats, no consoles, no power disc brakes, no AC, and after looking up everything on the data plate, it’s a standard 390 4V Mustang fastback. This is the second one I have seen in a month and to me, it is rare to see one that is not a GT or GTA. I’d still pass on it…
